Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָנַק (yanak), meaning "to suck" or "to nurse."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament that aligns with the concept of a sprout or tender shoot is found in Strong's Greek Number G2798 • κλάδος (klados), which means "branch" or "shoot." This term is used in the New Testament to describe branches, often in the context of parables and teachings of Jesus, such as in John 15:5, where Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches." The imagery of branches and shoots in both the Hebrew and Greek texts underscores themes of growth, connection, and dependence on the life-giving source. Usage: The term יוֹנֶקֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a young, tender shoot or sprout, often symbolizing new growth or vitality. It is a metaphor for renewal and the potential for future growth. Context: יוֹנֶקֶת (Yoneketh) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a symbol of new life and growth. This term is often used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey the idea of renewal and hope. For instance, in Isaiah 53:2, the imagery of a tender shoot is used to describe the humble beginnings and growth of the Servant of the Lord: "He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground." This metaphor emphasizes the unexpected and miraculous emergence of life and strength from seemingly barren conditions. The use of יוֹנֶקֶת in biblical texts often points to the divine ability to bring forth life and sustain it, even in the most unlikely circumstances. The imagery of a sprout or shoot is also a reminder of the fragility and dependence of new life on its source, reflecting the relationship between God and His people.
